Newegg TV: Seagate GoFlex Family

[reptedjess]

You have to purchase software licenses? Fuck that shit!

[smithlee07]

Dont ever buy this ! I backed up all my porn collection and this MUTHERFUCKING hard drive died in 2 weeks. Now i have nothing to mastubate to :(

[velvelification]

this hd sucks....

[MRmovies77]

So, which one of those cable I need to connect it to my T.V.??

[amantebueno]

I love how your dog is mesmerized by South Park.

[DILDOlover]

Also, I've seen a Seagate HDD that had laster over 15 years. Granted it was while I was at work and it had been brought in to get a new HDD.

[fadimorg99]

Can you take the hard drive out of the 1.5 TB FreeAgent GoFlex drive and put it in a laptop? I can't find any internal 1.5 TB 2.5 inch drives.

Please respond:)

[TheJuicyTangerine]

@fadimorg99 no. these are external hard drives and will be externals

[DILDOlover]

@TheJuicyTangerine They might be 2.5 inch drives in an abnormally big enclosure... Just saying :p

[nrnoble]

Nice video. I was serious considering getting one until I heard the comment about a 3 PC license limitation for the network version. That is very strange. Why would they limit a HDD drive to 3 PCs, and why would they even care. Thanks for making note of that in the video. I would have a bit miffed if I had bought it only to find out I could only connect 3 devices to the network HDD. I'll stick with standard sharing of an HDD attached to a PC. Not ideal, but no license restrictions.

@nrnoble

If you want to attach more PCs, you can buy a small softwarepackage for $19,99, then you have the "pro features"

[LtSurge659]

All of my Seagate External Hard Drives have survived past the predicted life expectancy asshats like any5dollarfootlong put on them.

[Altermedicine]

thank you monkeyman

[EricMuyser]

wtf @ sideburns

[craig2085]

i got confused when he was talking about the network stuff so it is basically a device that you attach to the bottom of your 3.5 and 2.5 hard drives.Are the network devices the same for both hard drives.Another thing that makes no sense is isn't Pogoplug a device you attach to a external hard drive to gain access of your hard drive over the internet why would i buy one of those seagate GoFlex devices if i need a Pogoplug when i only need the PogoPlug to do that

[EdouardDubois]

How many platters are there in the big 2 TB one?

[shantanu1320]

@EdouardDubois 1TB, 2TB, 3TB :)

[EdouardDubois]

@shantanu1320

?

No... what I'm asking is how many platters there are in the 2 TB drive. Each drive has a spinning disc called a platter, it's the silvery thing that holds the magnetic signals. Most typical drives will have 2 or 3 platters, that 2 TB drive looks very bulky and I was curious as to how many platters might be inside, it looks like it could fit as many as 6.

[ozzy31787]

maybe they should use a HD company that doesn't fail more than Windows ME...but great video, like the networking and streaming capabilities

[AZdarpiAZ]

Bes thing on this video: South Park

[lust4design]

If you have a mac dont get Go Flex Home! Im so disapointed!!!! :(

[pnutty7]

@lust4design Why?

[lust4design]

@pnutty7 doesn't work smoothly with Time/machine. Plus reports errors while copy. Small things like 1 picture ok.. but a folder with more documents, it was always ERROR XYZ****! But nothing on website or Manual. So i tried formatting the drive but cannot format.. I got so frustrated... ripped off the plastic furiously and placed the HardDrive on a old G-Drive Enclosure with multi-interface. Got a new NAS from Synology. Job done!

[Reddylion]

cool review



[PSTRIPPLEE]

Can you please show us a proper demonstration. How to input files into the seagate hardrive then, connect it to the desk and then plug it to the tv and play a video. Cause this really didnt help allot us

[snk9045]

I have the go flex home drive

[nectarineblue]

thanks Paul, I like how you went beyond the unboxing experience and brought us into the setting up and seeing it in action experience..

[PoliceCarMods]

all new seagates = FAIL i have 2 1tb barracuda's 32mb 7200 rpm drives from them one failed within 2 morths of me getting it & i contacted seagate & they said they cant help but wait what dose it say on the box umm 5 year warranty dont buy a seagate idk why newegg even sells them your to good for that newegg, samsung & WD is the way to go now a days. vote up if your seagate has failed on you within 1 year of getting it.

[sk8erz6721]

I have the only Seagate drive to ever last more than 3 years. The Smithsonian has requested it for display purposes

[TYRONEBIGGLES]

@sk8erz6721 AHAHAHAH!

[nectarineblue]

@sk8erz6721 LMAO!!! good one.. though I have one that came out about 10 yrs ago and it is still running. I think the issue with the drives over time is the amount of data everyone is expecting to cram into a given amount of space has caused manufactures to have to fill that demand by increasing the capacity in that little amount of space leading to increased chances for error..

[juryben]

shitgate more like it

[thephoenix134]

You sound bored or tired...

[MustaineV]

@thephoenix134 He always does

[t3hsniper]

What does the software do that's so special it needs license keys for it?

[DominatorAxel]

Nice house! :)

[chinweet]

is there a problem with seagate products?

[Madmann135]

@chinweet

high failure rate AKA Bad quality control.

[chinweet]

@Madmann135 then which brand is recommended? WD?

[oXNOCHANCEXo]

@chinweet samsung spinpoint f3

[cisco760ca]

Love New egg ..... Hate seagate

[Axeguard1292]

This is awesome. Considering buying this =)

[any5dollarfootlong]

seagate...

*shudders*

[Olah92sVids]

@any5dollarfootlong what's wrong with Seagate? I've used their hard drives for years on several different computers and never had any problems.

[rahmanroni]

@any5dollarfootlong Whats wrong with Seagate? I'm interested :D

[DoomTra1n]

@any5dollarfootlong what's wrong w/ Seagate? I've had a 320gb 7,200 RPM SATAII HDD for a helluva long time, not a single issue. keeps up with my new Western Digital Caviar Black SATAIII 500GB 7,200 HDD, STILL. Not that you should expect dramatic results from 2 different 7,200 RPM drives :P

[trudeauthao]

Thats pretty cool, thinking about getting one

[sonofkikkoman]

[MyRandomReviews]

Very nice products, Seagate are making some good products nowadays. I regret buying WD stuff now, it sucked. :(

[spadesshadow]

You guys should make Newegg computer badges. Im sure just adding that would make any computer 10X faster. just saying my comp would wear one.

[bmw2go11]

@spadesshadow NEWEGG FTW!!

.. in chrome, shipped, and on my pc ;D

[lets566]

@spadesshadow Some reason I would buy a few extra! :D

[DoomTra1n]

@spadesshadow But than we'd have to upgrade our badges every 6 months to keep up with the technological advances in computer badges :P haha

[EnigmaTactics]

First! We love you Paul!
